sudoman: I never saw any 3G bench before. but yours looks strange. maybe a new battery is a good idea &minus;&minus; they are not too expensive. as soon as you have one please report the runtime again, of course :o)

buschel: the apple firmware shows a series of icons for a "charging battery" and an icon for a "charged battery". does this mean that there is software charge control/monitoring in the 3G or is it just a timed progression? i'm curious because i don't know whether to charge with the apple or rockbox firmware

I've been trying to install rockbox on my 30 gb iPod video...and I've been completely unable to install the bootloader. ipodpatcher.exe has a write failed error. Its being run as an administrator. If anyone could help me, that would be really awesome...I can't for the life of me figure out the issue

kugel: not any time soon. Ideally get_line() should be directly usable from the playlist viewer, to cut down on *everything* a very stripped down parser was reimplemented for it which only stores the token id and not a full token struct for each item

JdGordon_: the way things are set up now, you can load (well, not right now, that bit needs work...) the same pebble multiple times. We could do separate load and use tokens to fix that, or we could cache the names. If my current work succeeds and I get globals working, reusin the same loaded pebble for multiple instances could cause trouble though

evilnick_B: Definitely witchcraft. That seems like the most logical assumption. However, for reference, I can manually put the rockbox files on the ipod through explorer. The bootloader fails no matter what method I use

CptJesus: the rbutil developers aren't here right now. I'd suggest either trying with a pre-7 windows or coming back tomorrow, a few hours earlier (the devs you need are in Europe, and it's past midnight here)

It highly depends on how there are compiled but yes generally there are compiled to normal functions (though the prolog and epilog are different and the access to variables of others stack frames are much more complicate). It's even more challenging if you want to do it without global variables !

JdGordon_: I'm having trouble getting my han ds on a recent simulator. The one at the extras page doesn't have multifont yet and I failed miserably at compiling my own one several times. Multifont is pretty much the only reason this is not at the theme page yet, because I want to further improve the playlist viewer and song info

btw: I do think alignment tags would be nice in the playlist viewer. this is one of the things I forgot to mention in the forums. It's not a big problem, but you can't align the playtime properly at the moment. when a song is longer than 9:59 minutes, it will "stand out"

yeah, basically. i'm not sure if this would work, but someone suggested getting the info for the song in itunes and then clicking OK. but that would be tedious for many songs. it might be feasible for doing album names.

I would like left side of screen &minus;&minus;>Prev preset Next preset<&minus;&minus; right side of screen. Each of those is in its own viewport, but the next preset needs to right aligned within its viewport

Hmmm....ok, new way of looking at this...Does anyone know why "DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE" in 'firmware/common/dircache.c' was changed so drastically? IIRC it *was* at 0x900, now its down to 0x200?!? The reason this surprises me is that to stop the Nano2g from *PANIC*Stkov DirCache-ing *see #FS10679. I need to set it to 0x1900 (at least, but 0x2000 seems to run better) to stop this...so dropping it even further seemed a bit odd to me.

I don't want to risk trying a build at 0x200 because I don't feel like trashing all my data on the 2g's for the millionth time, but the sudden drop in size makes me wonder what I may break setting it to 0x1900~2000 again...

S_a_i_n_t *finally* (after missing it several times...) spots r24708 (fix for #FS10679), and decides to run with it...thanks pamaury ;) , I assure you I'll let you know if *PANIC* Stkov DirCache still happens on the Nano2G

re: gsoc 2010 - I was thinking of doing TTS in core, integrating flite to be precise. However, I am not entirely sure that concatenative synthesis is the right tool for the job. Something like espeak might indeed be more suitable for in-core tts. Any thoughts on that or rockbox TTS in general? What are the use cases?

S_a_i_n_t: sorry, I don't do SAPI. In Linuxlandia, try festival with a clustergen or multisyn voice. Even better, try building your own limited-domain voice (see festvox). You'd be surprised how accurate those can be.

gevaerts: it's not a matter of "it only does English" - at the most basic level no TTS system cares about the underlying language. It's more about refactoring the system in a way that allows runtime loading of voices (I hope that flite supports that though I have my doubts).

:( flite is full of floating point math. There is a fixed-point version of the main bits but quite a lot of floating point math surrounding them. I'll have to ask on the mailing list how feasible it is to convert the remaining code into fixed point..

Mokli: Neither Rockbox nor ipodlinux nor anything else run on the 4th gen nano. There has been some progress with finding an exploit, but nothing uses it yet. It will be a long long time if ever that anything runs

FlynDice: the only thing which looks wrong in dualboot.S is the fact that GPIOB_DIR is reset to 0x0, can you try resetting it to the original value (after a sanity check in case this could cause a brick)

Hi, I had come here a few days back regarding USB mode for Ipod with V3.5. I am facing same issue again. When I connect ipod video 30 gig to pc, it shows rockbox's usb screen. For connecting as ipod's USB mode/screen, I need to press Menu while connecting. Is that expected??

Guest: I don't understand what you mean. If you connect 3.5 normally, it should reboot to the Apple Emergency Disk Mode, if you hold menu, it should remain in rockbox, without going to mass storage mode. Are you seeing something different?

gaverts: yes. If i connect ipod to pc, when it is switched off, it frst boots to rockbox, then shows usb cable and "multimedia mode" for a couple of seconds. Then it moves to a screen showing "do not disconnect" but that is not a apple screen

Is there a good reason why dircache does the generation of the cache in the main thread instead of in his own thread when doing a non-transparent build (that is, on boot) ? Can't the kernel do threading at the that time ?

JdGordon_: I've tried the latest fms patch two - a couple of little things. The menu backdrop shows through on scrolling lines, and when you exit the fms to the menu the menu backdrop isn't properly drawn again.

perfectdrug: the buttons are different (clip+ has volume on the left side, power on top, no hold button), obviously the µSD slot (on the right side, bottom), it has a more square design, a square buttons pad, a square home button, a not removable clip

TheSeven: that's absolutely stupid ! When the system boot, it ask dircache to init. If dircache cannot load its state from cache, it does a non-transparent rebuild ... on the main thread ==> it uses the main thread stack, so dircache thread stats at 4%

JdGordon_: I couldn't make it work on my M5 (I wanted to make a WPS for use with my home stereo, which would notify me when bass/treble were not 0). Tried that with conditionals (it's a lot values but I think I did it correctly) and seem to remember that I found a comment in the code saying something like "assume all possible values are 0 or greater than 0" which is not true for bass/treble

I converted a new font to use in my theme. It's a free font with lots of line spacing added (by me) to improve touchscreen usability. Now I'm confused about how to name it properly. The setting I used in the converter was 6, but the font itself is more like a 17 in size while all the line spacing would add up to a font size somewhere about 25+. What size would be correct?

saratoga - for max N=8192 size mdct (=real), we use an FFT of size n/4 (complex) = 2048 complex pairs - so I can't help thinking that 1) max revtab should be 1<<11 not 1<<12 and/or 2) we're (I'm) setting revtab_shift incorrectly since if the table is indeed 1<<12 then we should be shifting by 13-nbits not 14-nbits.

i'm still trying to understand it actually.. something seems off somewhere but not in a way that affects decoding at all (very odd). I actually hope/assume I'm just forgetting how it fits together (currently reading the original ffmpeg sources to compare)

hello out there - for more than two hours i read some files in your wiki - an i remarked that my english is not as good as i thought - finaly i have one question: Can i install rockbox (or any other linux distribution) on a SilverCrest DM-67?

axon - also read this (which is linked, by the way, from the Third question in the FAQ) http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/TargetStatus "If you truly want to see Rockbox happening on a new platform, you should start collecting as much info as possible about it with great detail. Post the info in a wiki page or the forum thread related to the device and start figuring out what similarities the new player has with existing supported p

stripwax - in fact i don't no really what you mean with skilled - so i'm getting the impression that i'm not - surely i can program in c and c++ a little bit, even in java or php but never did something like that - so in fact i have to know which hardware is used in this drive ?! how can i find this out? is there any description ?

saratoga - (re ffmpeg/mdct). maybe i'm just going crazy. so N=8192 => mdct nbits=13 . fft initialised (back when it had init) to nbits-2 => fft_nbits=11 (for size fftn=2048). So bitrev_shift = 14-13 = 1. And the revtab is 1<<12. so we shift by 1 bit, and interpret the revtab as being 1<<11 = 2048. so maybe it does just work

domonoky: Alright, I've been trying to install Rockbox on my iPod video 30gb, and for some reason, it is completely unable to install the bootloader. I asked a few people yesterday, and none of them could narrow down the problem. Neither iPodpatcher.exe or rbutil is able to install the bootloader. I posted the system trace from my rbutil yesterday if you need it

Unhelpful - and include it twice? on a target with only a small amount of iram, we want the 'small' table in iram, and the 'whole' table in dram (just in case it is needed, even though it's not commonly needed)

Unhelpful - true. a bunch of codecs will only need the 'small' table. probably only vorbis needs the big table (and even then the 'small' table is sufficient in 99% of cases and probably 100% of common portable audio cases)

saratoga: because it's using log2 somewhere... i actually found clz to be faster with a function in dram and table-follows-function than using a much smaller inline code + iram table. the same would apply to log2, it would just need a different table. ;)

domonoky: Yes I noticed that when uploading the previous version of the theme (It's a very comfortable feature btw, awesome work). I just thought something like that might be the problem, since the only difference from my side is the usage of multifont

saratoga - yeah, ffmpeg fft flips the sign of the sin table for Inverse. obviously we use a single trig table (with positive-sign sin) so it's kinda geared for the forward fft (oops). I must have missed that when I put in the static trig for fft. but would be good if you can confirm liba52 is also sign flipped

i've noticed problems with the ipodvideo sim and multi-font, it crashes upon restart. works on target tho. could be the them as deleating config.cfg works to bring it back but it's only on a theme with multifont this is caused
